Set-up and function test
8.1 Vibration
The vibrator (tactile signalling device) is connected to the corresponding crossing
orientation signal of the traffic light system and can be operated with a voltage of 20 V DC
to 253 V AC.
The voltage range is set with a DIP switch.
This ensures that the vibration can only be activated with the set voltage range.
Voltage ranges
DIP switch, 5-pole (1)
Only change the switch positions in a
de-energised state.

24 V nominal voltage (18 to 30 V DC)
40 V nominal voltage (30 to 50 V DC)
230 V nominal voltage (170 to 253 V AC)
40 V dimming nominal voltage (18 to 50 V AC / DC)
230 V dimming nominal voltage (110 to 253 V AC)
Settings
The voltage range is set on 230 V on delivery.
